I don't know if there is a topic on this... I only came into this politics forum because I'm bored. This forum is the worst for arguing about stuff...

I disagree, the UN fucks stuff up... I'm angry at them still for Rwanda... they fail.

They want to own the Internet because some hicks can't use Thunderbird or the likes. Whee.


No. Seriously. No.

The U.N. can't run the internet because it's not a "thing", therefore no one can claim ownership over it. They fail at politics.

WHATEVER, FAGGOT

ICANN is birthed by the US.

Technically the first network was made by the US military, the UN is just some little bastards on this topic.


No. Seriously. No.

Why fix something that isn't broken? The internet seems to be working fine the way it is. I don't see how the UN could improve things--only give a say to countries like China and North Korea to limit what can and cannot be put online.

The Internet is fine, and I agree its not a "thing" so it cannot be owned. Its the only peice of the world other than Antarctica that has no claim.

THE STORY:
Some countries want the UN to control the Internet because they think the UN can get rid of spam somehow. Let's face it, if the US can't police the Internet,

who can? They think the US has been running the show for too long (ICANN was birthed by the US) and now they want change. The four countries mentioned in it

were Syria, Brazil, China, and Ghana (in the article I read). They want a new UN organization (or the Internation Telecommunications Union) to control the

critical parts of the Internet, and control who makes new TLDs, assigning numeric Internet addresses, and operating the root servers. They also want it to

handle Internet surveilance, consumer protection, and even taxing domain names for international access. Those proclamations served to flush out the Bush

administration, which recently announced that it will not hand over control of Internet domain names and addresses to anyone else. There is also a second

option, which means Brazil and China would make their own Internet, and two computers could find different websites at the same address.


No. Seriously. No.
